Yep, saw a  bunch of em up last night.

All these guys pleading for the 39 will be right back in 51s and LA7s going light speed, when they realize it will not be an uber bird but take some learning and thinking to fly it and survive as down low is where it worked best.  Not a bird to pick with.

And yeah I'd like the 39 for its historical importance, just the same as I wanted the 25 for the same reason.

Yep. Also, she's wicked pretty.

I would like to see it added for its historical importance, and it was not a bad bird. It was just a low altitude slugger.

 ...and this, coming from a guy who flies P-38Gs in an arena full of Spit16s and Lgays...

 How insulting!

"Picking with" is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks for reminding it.

The Yak's where the sukiest fighter in WW2 but HTC has made them a bit better in this game. the G-55 could (like I have always said:rolleyes:) just about out turn the spit sixteens and can out run the runstang.

G-55 is needed

Your ignorance of planes is just as bad as Vansqueaker's.

The Yak-3, while using the same engine as the Yak-9, was smaller and lighter and had a greater power to rate ratio than the Yak-9.  Besides being agile, it was also an easy to handle plane, probably could compare it to the Spitfire in its ease of handling.  It was superior to German aircraft below 16,500ft.  It's roll rate was just as good, if not better than the Fw 190 and had a better turn rate.  

The only negatives of the plane was the short range and the tendency of the plywood to tear during high-G maneuvering.

I think the Headhunters start out flying the '39, before they transitioned to the Lightning.    

Good scenario plane for South Pac, N. Africa, and Eastern Front.   I think the visibility out of the cockpit was not so great though, so in the MA it would be a challenge to fly.
